Cant open documents after upgrade

I recently updated the "Pages" app on my iMac.  I have created two documents since then and saved them.  When I go to Pages, these documents are "greyed" out.  They are there, I can see them, but they can't be selected to open.  How do I open these and why did this happen.  Looking through some of my other documents, I have noticed alot of them are grey as well and can't be opened.  Especially PDF files.  What is going on?  I REALLY need those documents.  5 hours worth of work are saved in that unopenable space!

If you recently "updated" Pages, you probably upgraded to Pages 5 and have Pages '09 moved to your Applications/iWork folder.
Pages '09 can not open anything created by Pages 5 unless you exported the files to Pages '09 or Word .docx formats.
Mavericks also "locks" older unused files.
Are you sure that this is not what is happening.
Or did you delete all the necessary apps when you migrated?
Thirdly do you have them stored somewhere else that the Mac can't locate and those are just aliases?

  • Pages on my iPad3 has become very slow to open documents after upgrading to ios7. I've clicked on a folder 5 minutes ago and am still waiting. The work-around seems to be to force-close it, but I've needed to do this many times in the last few days.

    Pages on my iPad3 has become very slow to open documents after upgrading to ios7.
    I posted on here about this a few weeks back and someone suggested force-closing Pages -- and that does indeed enable me to open things -- but I have had to force-close many times in the last 24 hours, which is worrying. Are there any other suggestions?
    I am sometimes also finding that, when I have been writing something and then click on "documents" the screen goes blank, there is a wait of around a minute and then the same document is re-displayed, before clicking "documents" again lets me look at other documents -- which is a pain if I am trying to move between documents repeatedly. Again, words of wisdom on this would be great.
    Pages under iOS6 opened quickly, and there was an immediate loss of performance when I upgraded. I am finding this very frustrating because I don't feel that the new Pages has added to the facilities I was using, but a slowness to open documents is frustrating.
    Thanks

  • Illustartor CS5 cant open svg after upgrading to Mavericks

    Hi,
    I upgraded to OSX-10.9 Mavericks. Now, I cant open svg files in illustrator CS5. I could do it before upgrading to Mavericks. Whats the problem?
    Thanks,
    Ron.

    If you do not have a backup then you will lose your photos ad all of yoru files sooner or later - hard drives, computers, software and humans fail and with no backup yu are 100% guarenteed to lose your phoots and files sooner or later - yhou need to purchase an external drive 2 1/2 times the size of your  main drive and start using Time Machine all the time ASAP
    For this a simple copy will works - but you must always have a backup if you care about anything on your oputer

  • Cant open ITunes after Upgrade

    Must have upgraded my ITunes recently because ITunes will no longer open unless I download the new Quicktime 7.6. My company computer is running MAC OS 10 with no option for Leopard. APPLE! You idiots! If your upgrade is going to render a customers ITunes unnusable without a system upgrade you need to put a warning in the upgrade message so customers can choose not to run the upgrade!!!! Not everyone can run out and get the newest hardware and software.!!!! Now I cannot open my ITunes and can't go back to the old. Not to mention that my $260 ipod started to skip before it was even a year old and according the the discussion boards there was nothing to do to fix it. Get your stuff together Apple!!!!
    This happened on my fathers ITunes operating on ad older Windows. He now cannot use his Ipod, because he cannot get an Itunes that will run on his computer!!! He can't upgrade without buying a new computer!!! And at 85 why should he buy a new one!!! Come on Apple!!!!

    First, Apple product developers do not participate here, so rants posted here will do little good since the rant probably will be seen only by we your fellow users.
    Second, why can you not upgrade to QuickTime 7.6? If it's just a matter of you not being able to find an appropriate version for your version of Mac OS X, just run Software Update on your computer, or look here:
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/#quicktime
    QuickTime 7.6 is available for Mac OS X versions back to and including 10.4.11, which is also the earliest version that the current iTunes release will run on. So there shouldn't be any problem, at least not as far as an available compatible version is concerned.
    This happened on my fathers ITunes operating on ad older Windows. He now cannot use his Ipod, because he cannot get an Itunes that will run on his computer!
    What version of Windows does he have? Did he have his iPod working before, or is this a new iPod? If so, the system requirements for the iPod are clearly stated, on Apple's web site and, I believe, on the iPod's box. If his system doesn't match the system requirements of the iPod, that's not Apple's fault.
    Regards.

    How do I retrieve AW 6 documents after upgrading to Lion?

    Find someone who backed up their 10.6 or is still running 10.6 who has Appleworks and Filemaker Pro who will convert the data for you, or if you have a backup, which you should always have when upgrading, downgrade to your backup first, convert the necessary files, then upgrade.  See my http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html FAQ* on how to backup if you don't know how.

  • [SOLVED] Evince failed to open any PDF documents after upgrade

    I have a x86 version Archlinux on a 32-bit intel platform. After recent upgrade, the Evince package was updated to 2.32.0-3, which fails to open any PDF documents. It gives a notification says "Unable to open document: File type PDF document (application/pdf) is not supported".
    No other package was installed/removed. It just stop working after the upgrade.
    Looking forward for any suggestions/solutions. Thanks in advance~~

    Thank you so much.
    The problem is solved as soon as I replaced the modified freetype2 from AUR with the official package. There seems to be something incompatible with the upgraded system.

  • I cant open firefox after an upgrade only box says to restart computer which i have 10 times

    a box came up to upgrade firefox i did, now everytime i click on firefox icon from desktop its keeps saying "Your computer must be restarted to complete the upgrade of firefox. Do you want to restart now.
    ok I HAVE DONE THIS 20 TIMES AND STILL NOTHING PLEASE HELP

    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!

  • Cant open documents now I have upgraded to Lion

    Hi, I upgraded to Lion last week and now can open documents that are sent as attachments to e-mails? The file seems to download but when I try and open it I have this error message..... The document “BAAF__PAR_2008_Parts_A_-_C-4.doc” couldn’t be opened. Thats all I get with no suggestions to try anything else. Any advice?

    Is it just .doc files or does it happen with other types of attached files, e.g. .xls, .pdf, etc...?

  • Can't open file after upgrade to 10.8.1

    I use Indesign CS5(Trad. Chinese version). When i upgrade to 10.8 is no problem, but when i upgrade to 10.8.1 last week, i can open any previous ID document! Even i create a new document , i close it , & also cant open!! Its shows a dialog box means the file crash before, selection is fix ,cancel or reopen, but any select also can fix & cant open !!!
    Finally i downgrade to 10.8 from my Time Machine, everything gonna OK again!!!
    Will Adobe fix this problem? or i cant upgrade to 10.8.2...10.8.3....etc any more!!

    Why don’t you ask Apple? It was their update that broke it.
    And I would not count on any updates to CS5. It’s two version out of date.
    FWIW, that 10.8.1 update helped a lot of people having problems with CS6.
